Application filedfseptember 25,'1 928. Ser ia1 No. 308,233.

The invention relates to twisting mechanism for spinning machines andprovides a flyer and mount of unique structure cap-able of being cheaplymanufactured, and which is light and adapted to be retained upon thespindle when applied thereto Without liability of displacement.

' The invention consists of a hollow metal holder, a filler therein ofsoft rubber or analogous material, a sheet metal retainer, interengagingelements, such as interfitting collars, between the retainer and holder,and a two armed fiyer mounted upon the retainer and held thereto bymeans of ears partly cut from the retainer and bent about the flyer.

WVhile the drawing illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention,it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needsand requirements, the de sign may be varied and changes in the minordetails of construction may be resorted to within the scope of theinvention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof,reference is to be had to the following description and the drawinghereto attached, in which:'

Figure 1 is an elevational view of a bobbin and spindle of ordinaryconstruction, and a flyer embodying the invention in cooperativerelation therewith.

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the flyer and mount and aportion of a spin dle, the outer ends of the arms of theflyer beingbroken away.

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4: is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view on the line 4-4 ofFigure 3.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and designated in the several views of the drawing by likereference characters. 7

The numeral 1 designates a spindle and 2 a bobbin mounted thereon. Theseparts may be of any well known construction'and are illustrated todemonstrate the application of the invention which resides in the flyerand parts passociatedtherewith and forming the mount. 1

The numeral 3 denotes the holder which. is hollow and formed of sheetmetal pressed or otherwiseshaped substantially as illustrated.

The holder is of circularoutline-and formed on its upper side, with acollar comprising portions 4 and 5, the part 4: being constricted andthe part 5 outwardly bulged. An insert 6, preferably of soft rubber,- isfitted within the body portion of the holder and is formed centrallywith an opening to receive the spindle 1, upon which it is held byfrictional engagement of the insert 6. therewith.

A retainer, comprising a sheet metal plate 7, has a collar 8 pressedlaterally therefrom and outwardly bulged to snugly receive the outwardlybulged portion 5 of the collar on the holder whereby to secure the partwithout any binding action so that the retainer is free to rotate. Asshown most clearly in Figure 2 of the drawing the retainer is elongatedor elliptical in outline and ears 9 are partly cut from oppositeend'portions and pressed laterally and bent to engage about the middleportion 10 of the flyer adjacent the inner ends of the arms 11.

In this manner the flyer is secured to the retainer withoutnecessitating the provision of extraneous fastening means. Theinterfitting of theelements 5 and 8 prevent displacement of the retainerwhile admitting of its free rotation upon the holder which is helduponthe spindle 1 by means of the filler 6.

Having thus described the invention, I claim 1. A flyer mount for abobbin spindle comprising a holder having a central opening, and havinga collar upon its top side in line with the opening, said collar havinga portion outwardly bulged, a rubber insert in the holder to secure theflyer on the spindle, and a retainer loose on the holder having a collaron its bottom side outwardly bulged to receive the correspondingoutwardly bulged portion of the holder collar.

2. A flyer mount for abobbin spindle comprising a plate having a spindlereceiving opening and a collar in line with the opening and outwardlybulged, and having ears partly cut therefrom, a flyer having its middleportion curved to embrace the collar between the outer bulge thereof andthe plate and 5 held in place by the ears bent therearound adjacent theends of the curved portion, a holder loosely supporting the said plate,and inter-engaging means between the plate and holder to maintain themin assembled relatlOIl. V

3. A fiyer mount for a bobbin spindle comprising a hollow holder inwhich is formed a central opening, and having a collar" on its top sidein line with the opening and out- Wardly bulged, a packing insert Withinthe holder, a plate having a spindle receiving opening and a collar inline with the opening and outwardly bulged to receive thebulged portionof the holder collar, and having ears partlycut therefrom, and a fiyerhaving its middle portion curved to embrace the collar and held in placeby the said ears which are bent therearound adjacent the ends of thecurved portion. In testimony whereof I af'ix my signature.
